About Sheila

Sheila Adams is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with ten years of experience in the mental health field. She began her career supporting families involved in the child welfare system and later worked in community mental health settings. Sheila helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma, relationship strain, parenting challenges, depression, addiction concerns, grief, anger, and related issues.

Sheila’s style is practical and solution-focused. She listens first, then works with each person to find steps that fit their life.

Background and approach

Sessions tend to emphasize clear goals and skills people can use between meetings. She also draws on mindfulness and cognitive strategies to manage strong emotions and unhelpful thinking. Sheila uses a client-centered stance that keeps the person’s priorities in focus.

She offers ideas, teaches coping skills, and practices new ways of responding alongside the person in session. For trauma-related work she includes EMDR as one of several approaches to reduce distress and process difficult memories. Many people appreciate Sheila’s straightforward, calm manner and focus on measurable progress.

She is able to tailor sessions for parenting concerns, compassion fatigue, ADHD challenges, and mood-related struggles such as bipolar symptoms. Her background in child welfare and community mental health informs a practical approach to everyday problems. She practices in Missouri and holds LPC credentials in both Arizona and Missouri.

Sessions are offered in English and are available through a mix of video calls, phone, live chat, and text messaging.

How Sheila’s Approaches Work Online

Sheila integrates client-centered work and cognitive behavioral techniques to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and build new ways of coping. Client-centered therapy means the person’s goals guide each session, while cognitive behavioral techniques offer practical tools to change thinking and behavior patterns.

She also uses EMDR as an option for processing traumatic memories and reducing distress tied to those experiences. EMDR involves focused attention and guided processes to help people approach difficult memories with less overwhelm; it can be adapted for remote sessions when appropriate.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Sheila will collaborate with each person to decide which methods match their needs and preferences, adjusting the plan over time based on how things are going.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy lives. Video calls let people have face-to-face interaction, phone sessions work well when bandwidth or camera use is limited, and live chat or text messaging provide brief check-ins or ongoing support between meetings. These options offer flexibility for different schedules and communication styles while keeping the focus on practical skill-building and progress.
